Abstract: A caster assembly (10) mountable to a frame leg (18)
of a movable frame
structure having a caster receiving aperture therein. The caster assembly of a preferred
embodiment includes a caster having a
caster fork, a caster wheel (32) attached to the
caster fork, and a mounting shaft attached
to a caster fork. The mounting shaft (14) is
shaped and sized to extend through the aperture in the frame portion when the caster
assembly is in an installed position wherein the caster is adjacent to a bottom side of
the frame leg and an intermediate portion of the mounting shaft is adjacent to a top
side of the frame leg. The mounting shaft (14)
has an generally flat blocking surface
extending along a portion of the shaft such that the blocking surface is adjacent to the
aperture in the frame leg when the caster is in the installed position. A locking washer
is removably connected to the mounting shaft (16)
and is mountable to the frame leg. The
locking washer has a shaft aperture that receives the mounting shaft therein, and an
engagement portion defines a portion of the shaft aperture. The blocking surface is
removably positioned immediately adjacent to the engagement portion so as to engage
the engagement portion and prevent rotational movement of the mounting shaft
relative to the locking washer and relative to the frame leg when the caster is in the
installed position. The locking washer (22)
retains the mounting shaft (14) in a selected angular
orientation relative to the frame leg (18)
aligned with a primary intended direction of travel,
thereby providing directional control of the frame structure.

Abstract: In order to effectively damp the vibration of the
drum (1) of a drum brake, which is a main cause of brake
squeals, a vibration detector and a vibrator are provided
and operated separately from each other. The vibration
damping control is carried out directly by mechanical
means, or in a non-contact manner to improve durability
of the device. A piezoelectric element (7), magnetic sensor (19)
or acceleration sensor (22) is used to detect the vibration of
the drum (1). The vibration detected is converted to an
electric signal. After adjusting its phase and amplitude,
the electric signal is converted to vibration force and
output through a piezoelectric element (7,7') or magnetic
actuator (28) as the vibrator to suppress brake squeals.

Abstract: An ink jet recording apparatus includes an ink consumption
operating unit (32) that adds a quantity of ink to be
discharged by suction processing as a quantity of ink consumed
before performing the suction processing. The ink jet recording
apparatus includes also a suction control unit (29) that
performs the suction processing after such addition. A
remaining ink level is calculated by estimating a quantity of
ink to be used in a large volume for sucking as a quantity of
ink consumed, and, even if a power supply switch is turned off
before the sucking operation is terminated, the calculated
remaining ink level as a quantity of ink consumed is added to a
consumption storage unit (33). As a result, a possible
erroneous overestimation of the remaining ink level in an ink
cartridge (9, 10) can be avoided.
